Compute the geometric mean for the following data on growth factors of an investment for 10 years. 1.10, 0.50, 0.70, 1.21, 1.25, 1.12, 1.16, 1.11, 1.13, 1.22 1.0221 1.0148 1.1475

1.0148 Rationale: The geometric mean is a measure of location that is calculated by finding the nth root of the product of n values.

The College Board reported that the mean Math Level 2 SAT subject test score was 686 with a standard deviation of 96. Assuming scores follow a bell-shaped distribution, use the empirical rule to find the percentage of students who scored less than 494. 95% 97.5% 2.5% 5%

2.5 Rationale: z-score = (494 - 686) / 96 = -2. Recall that 95% of observations fall within two standarddeviations of the mean, which means 2.5% of observations fall in each tail. Since we want to know the percentage of students who scored less than 494, we essentially want to know the percentage of observations that fall below -2 standard deviations. 2.5% of observations fall below -2 standard deviations.

The College Board originally scaled SAT scores so that the scores for each section were approximately normally distributed with a mean of 500 and a standard deviation of 100. Assuming scores follow a bell-shaped distribution, use the empirical rule to find the percentage of students who scored greater than 700. 97.5% 2.5% 95% 5%

2.5 Rationale: z-score = (700 - 500) / 100 = 2. Recall that 95% of the observations fall within twostandard deviations of the mean, so 2.5% of the observations will fall above 2 standard deviations and 2.5% of observations will fall below -2 standard deviations. 2.5% of students will score greater than 700.

Compute the third quartile for the following data. 10, 15, 17, 21, 25, 12, 16, 11, 13, 22 15.5 21.5 21.25 11.75

21.25 Rationale: Quartiles divide data into four parts, with each part containing approximately one-fourth, or 25 percent, of the observations. This can be calculated with the Excel function =QUARTILE.EXC(range,3) = 21.25.

Use technology to compute the standard deviation for the following sample data. 32, 41, 36, 24, 29, 30, 40, 22, 25, 37 5.42 5.96 6.41 6.75

6.75 Rationale: The standard deviation is defined to be the positive square root of the variance and can be calculated using the Excel function =STDEV.S( ).

Scores on Ms. Bond's test have a mean of 70 and a standard deviation of 11. David has a score of 52 on Ms. Bond's test. Scores on Ms. Nash's test have a mean of 64 and a standard deviation of 6. Steven has a score of 52 on Ms. Nash's test. Which student has the higher standardized score? David's standardized score is -1.64 and Steven's standardized score is -2.00. Therefore, David has the higher standardized score. David's standardized score is -1.64 and Steven's standardized score is -2.00. Therefore, Steven has the higher standardized score. Cannot be determined with the information provided. David's standardized score is 1.64 and Steven's standardized score is 2.00. Therefore, Steven has the higher standardized score.

David's standardized score is -1.64 and Steven's standardized score is -2.00. Therefore, David has the higher standardized score. Rationale: David's standardized score is (52 - 70) / 11 = -1.64 and Steven's standardized score is (52 -64) / 6 = -2.00. Therefore, David has the higher standardized score.

Compute the coefficient of variation for the following sample data. 32, 41, 36, 24, 29, 30, 40, 22, 25, 37 20.28% 21.36% 18.64% 21.67%

21.36 Rationale: The coefficient of variation indicates how large the standard deviation is relative to the mean. The coefficient of variation is (6.75 / 31.6 × 100) = 21.36%.

Euclidean distance can be used to calculate the dissimilarity between two observations. Let u = (25, $350) correspond to a 25-year-old customer that spent $350 at Store A in the previous fiscal year. Let v = (53, $420) correspond to a 53-year-old customer that spent $4,100 at Store A in the previous fiscal year. Calculate the dissimilarity between these two observations using Euclidean distance. 88.57 75.39 72.28 66.21

75.39
